Three words:
ENCRYPTION, ENCRYPTION, ENCRYPTION &;-)
How many of us use encryption on wired LANs? Probably not many. But
everyone seems to use encryption on wireless LANs, at least 802.11
wireless, which is what I'm familiar with... So that seems like an
advantage, not a disadvantage.
The disadvantages I can think of for wireless are:
1. It's pretty slow (< 11 Mbps shared bandwidth)
2. Mobile wireless is fraught with issues. How do you get a new IP address
when you move from subnet to subnet? (Of course, that's not too
straightforward on wired either, come to think of it.)
